BREAKING: Driver ‘Cooks’ Eight Illegals in Semi at Texas Walmart

In a terrifying news report by My San Antonio, Guillermo Contreras and Emilie Eaton give insight into a horrific time scene in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday evening. In what is believed by police to be a human-trafficking operation, eight people have died from over heating in a semi trailer. There were thirty people in the trailer in all. In addition to the eight people who passed away, sixteen others were taken to the local hospital for with heat stroke symptoms.

From My San Antonio:

“We’re looking at a human-trafficking crime this evening,” said San Antonio Police Chief William McManus in a video posted on the department’s Facebook page. “Homeland Security is working with us.” The driver of the truck, identified as James Bradley by several sources, was immediately detained by police and faces state and federal charges. McManus said police were alerted by a Walmart employee who was approached by someone in the truck who asked the employee for water. “These people were in the trailer without any water,” said San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood. “Looking at a lot of heat stroke, a lot of dehydration.” Engine 25 arrived at 12:26 a.m., Hood said, and firefighters started extricating patients out of the back of a semi-truck. The air conditioning was not working. “Our paramedics and firefighters found that each patient had heart rates over about 130 beats per minute and were very hot to the touch,” Hood said.

It is believed that temperatures inside the trailer could have climbed above 130 degrees. At least two children were killed in this horrific event.

This tragedy proves again the necessity for more border security – THE WALL.

Despite the number of illegal immigrants dropping significantlyunder President Trump, human trafficking and illegal border crossings are still a huge problem. This is a two-fold problem. On one side, it is a impediment to our national security to allow un-vetted illegal immigration. Those who come here to work and live aren’t necessary a security threat (despite breaking the law), but rather, it is the ability of terrorists and drug cartels to use the same avenues for entry. That is unacceptable in these United States. On the other side of this tw0-fold issue, is the sanctity of human life. Those that make the trek to our country illegally do so at their own risk. Many lose their lives every year trying to reach our borders. This tragedy in San Antonio only proves the point, once again. WE NEED THE WALL.
